Seeing their Qianhu dismounted, the imperial guards behind them also jumped off their horses one by one, took the horse's reins in their hands, and filed into Baoding City.
The figure of the Jin Yiwei disappeared on the street, and the Baihu guarding the city whispered to a soldier next to him: "Hurry and report to the commander, the Jin Yiwei has entered Baoding City."
A few days ago, Jin Yiwei went to Dongchang Prison and looked for Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had already passed the news to Daning Dusi.
In Gu'an County, there is not much to worry about. With Wei Zhixian and Wei Qianhu working around the situation, Jin Yiwei will only return without success.
But Baoding City is different. It can be said that he once again went on a killing spree here.
When he was in Daxing County, he killed eight hundred people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce by himself. After that, some people used this incident to complain to the emperor and cause trouble for him.
In Baoding City, when a guard army was annihilated, the Jin Yiwei would definitely keep an eye on this matter, trying to find out the flaws in Dongchang.
This matter can be said to have been done jointly by Dongchang and Daning Dusi. They informed Daning Dusi in advance so that they could be prepared to deal with Jinyiwei in advance.
However, in the secret letter to Daning Dusi, Xiao Chen did not tell the other party to be careful. Instead, he used a normal tone of voice and asked Daning Dusi to entertain the Jin Yiwei well.
The last sentence is the most crucial: "In the capital, Dongchang took great care of the Jinyiwei. Now that they have arrived in Baoding, they can only rely on Daning Dusi to entertain them well."
How could Daning Dusi not understand such a straightforward meaning?
The Jinyiwei is an agency directly under the emperor. Before Dongchang had a city, it also had considerable power. You definitely wouldn't dare to touch them casually.
But as long as he takes care of things and makes things difficult for them at every turn, not only will he return without success, but he will also feel extremely depressed. For Daning Dusi, it is not a big deal.
The streets are crowded and the shops are open for business.
The cries of vendors are endless.
Especially the smell of chive buns floating along the street made the stomachs of Jin Yiwei and the others growl incessantly.
I drove non-stop from Gu'an, and there was no place to rest on the way, let alone something to eat to satisfy my hunger.
Zhang Jin also felt very hungry in his stomach. The food and wine he had eaten in the Gu'an tavern last night had already disappeared with the running around in the morning.
But he was so angry at the city gate just now. How could he be in the mood to sit on the street of Baoding City and eat steamed buns with ordinary people?
"Get on the horse, let's go to the Baoding government office." After saying hello, Zhang Jin jumped on the horse again, clamped his legs, and galloped away while the people on the street fled in panic.
At the gate of the government office, two government servants were holding water and fire sticks, standing listlessly in the sun, cursing the increasingly hot and ghostly weather. There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, coming closer and closer.
"Who are these? They don't look like Daning Dusi's team?" A government official put his hand on his forehead and looked at the speeding team with a slight frown.
"The people from Daning Dusi will not run rampant on the street like this." Another government official also looked into the distance and said slowly.
In a blink of an eye, the team arrived at the gate of the government office.
Zhang Jin glanced at the four characters "Baoding Government Office" on the gate, jumped off his horse, and threw the reins into the hands of the school captain who was following closely behind: "You guys can wait under the cool shade of a tree for a while."
With that said, he walked directly into the door.
Judging from the aura of the other party, he must not be an ordinary person. However, if you want to enter the gate of the government office, you must give your name and report it.
How could he treat the gatekeeper as if he didn't exist and just rush in?
"My lord, my lord." Looking at each other's Qianhu uniforms, the two government officials' faces were full of smiles, and they blocked the door with their bodies in unison, "Please state your name, and let me go in to inform you."
The resentment at the gate of the city had not dissipated for a while. Someone blocked his way at the gate of the government office again. Zhang Jin wanted to have a fit, but he endured it forcefully.
He raised his arms and pushed the two of them to the side: "Jin Yiwei is handling the case, what kind of report are you reporting?"
Walking through the gap between the two of them, he walked towards the government office lobby.
When they heard that the other party called themselves Jinyiwei, the two government officials felt their hearts skip a beat and couldn't help but look at the embroidered spring knife on the other party's waist.
The people of Jinyiwei did not dare to stop him. But if he was allowed to walk into the government office in such a swagger, wouldn't his duty at the gate be in vain?
If adults ask more questions in the future, it will be difficult for me to explain.
Immediately, one of the yamen servants was left to continue on duty, while the other hurriedly passed Zhang Jin and ran towards the government yamen lobby. As he ran, he shouted: "My lord, my lord, the lord of Jin Yiwei is here to visit."
The people in the back office of the government office, the prefect Li Huaigu and the government office Tongzhi have already finished writing the documents to apply to the court for the reconstruction of the Baoding City Guards. They are checking to see if there are any other missing reasons that need to be added.
The Jin Yiwei were blocked at the gate of Baoding City, and they will definitely feel resentful about this matter.
If you can file a complaint in front of the emperor when you return to the capital, it will be equivalent to doing a great favor to the Baoding Prefecture. Submit your application to the emperor, and after the emperor weighs it, the re-establishment of the Baoding Prefecture's moderate guard army will be just around the corner.
The two of them were lowering their heads, pointing to a place on the document, and discussing whether to modify it, when the voice of the Yamen servant came faintly from outside.
"So fast?" Fuya Tongzhi exclaimed.
"Go, go out. Take this document and go out." Li Huaigu rolled up the document, picked up the brush and clicked on his official uniform a few times, hurriedly opened the door curtain and walked towards the lobby.
The yamen servant had already crossed the threshold of the lobby. Behind him, Zhang Jin was holding the Xiuchun knife handle with his left hand, his right hand behind his back, and he was about to enter the lobby with his raised left foot.
Li Huaigu held the document in his hand and scolded the yamen servant: "We have a guest visiting, so let's announce it generously. How unbecoming is it to run around the yamen in such a hurry?"
Before the yamen officer could tell, he greeted Zhang Jin with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, you are from Jinyiwei? I don't know how to call him?"
Zhang Jin cupped his fists and saluted Li Huaigu: "Thousand households in front of the Jinyi Guards, Zhang Jin."
"It turns out to be Zhang Qianhu. Thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat." Li Huaigu hurriedly returned the gesture with his fists clasped, making the document in his hand look very conspicuous.
Then he waved his right hand to invite the other party to take a seat, which made the few drops of ink marks on the official uniform fully exposed.
"My lord, please." Zhang Jin was polite and walked towards his seat.
Seeing Zhang Jin sitting down, Li Huaigu ordered the yamen servant to serve tea. After some explanations, he slowly sat down.
"What are you busy with, Lord Magistrate? He has documents in his hands, and the ink on his body is not yet dry. Did my Jin Yiwei come at the wrong time and disturb you?" Zhang Jin said calmly after taking a look at the official uniform of the other party.
"No, no." Li Huaigu waved his hand hurriedly, "The Jinyi Guards are the first imperial guard in the imperial city, and they are an agency directly under the emperor. In the eyes of local officials like me, they are almost the same as imperial envoys. No matter how big the government affairs are,
It's not as big a matter as the imperial court. When you come to Baoding Mansion, how can you disturb me?"
Listening to Li Huaigu's complimentary words, Zhang Jin felt relieved.
These civil servants can still speak, and the same words coming out of their mouths always make people feel happy.
Unlike those "idiot" military attachés who can only guard the city gates, they speak bluntly and don't know how to adapt. They deserve to be stuck guarding the city gates for the rest of their lives and can do nothing else.
"It's okay if you don't disturb me." Zhang Jin smiled lightly, "It is a blessing for Baoding Prefecture to have parents like you working hard for the people all the time."
He was in a good mood and naturally wanted to talk. Zhang Jin couldn't help but compliment Li Huaigu a few times.
"Hey, there's no point in working for the people. I'm busy with my own affairs in the Yamen." Li Huaigu said, putting the document king's desk on the table: "The guards of Baoding City have been dealt with because they were involved in the case of kidnapping the prince.
.Currently, the guard affairs of Baoding City are temporarily handled by Daning Dusi. However, the guarding of Baoding City is a long-term matter. I have been letting Daning Dusi do it for me, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. After much thought, I still rebuild one.
The guards of Baoding City are more suitable."
As he spoke, he patted the documents on the table and said, "No, when your Excellency came, I was writing the documents to apply to the imperial court for rebuilding the Baoding City Guards."
"This application must be written, and the guard army must be rebuilt." Looking at the ink marks on Li Huaigu's body, Zhang Jin smiled knowingly.
